About this map

Sea Lion Gulch and the steep elevations of the King Range dominate this coastal stretch of Humboldt County, where the land drops precipitously into the Pacific Ocean. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by its ridges and drainage systems, notably Cooskie Creek and Spanish Creek, which carve deep canyons as they flow toward the shoreline. The only significant inland access is via Cooskie Ridge Rd, which follows the high ground of Cooskie Ridge above the surrounding ravines.

The coastal topography features distinctive maritime landmarks such as Rodgers Break and Reynolds Rock. Significant coastal flats and uplands, including Spanish Flat and Spanish Ridge, suggest the narrow margins where the terrain levels out before meeting the sea. This map is a record of a largely undeveloped landscape where geographic features like Johnny Jack Ridge and Lake Ridge serve as the primary markers for navigation and land use.
